Saw one of these come up for sale but it is looks nothing of what the brochure you posted is indicating. Non the less I haven't heard of them before. Thanks for replying.

Poking around the internet looking at this or that, I have come across a 71 demon "Sizzler" never heard of this marketing of the demon before but I think I have seen the hood decal less the Sizzler logo?. Curiosity kind of got me can any of the members here shed some light on the car. Thanks

I am interested PM sent

A little longer rip today and when I went to shut her down she hinted a little run on. Could this be a timing or fuel adjustment,this engine still has the solenoid for I believe this type of situation and was working ...awhile back.(lots of decayed wiring in this car) but is now appearing not...

Last night me and my boy decided to spend some time on tweaking things. We went back to point "A" and set #1 to 10° BTDC and then popped the dist cap and decided to rotate the drive gear one more tooth. Re adjust the plug wires to the #1 position,made note of the rotor position,vacuum advance...

I think my conclusion would be that the chain and sprockets had enough play to affect the timing. When I took a closer look at the sprockets you can see a big difference in the valley as well as the top off the tooth.As for the chain it was pretty sloppy if you did a side to side movement as...

Well thought I would just update things here as I left it unfinished in mid July.I did install the new double roller timing chain and thought that would be it until we return. As things go it is unfinished business and I couldn't really leave it, at least not all together. So put it all back...

Wow what a trip,way to much to look at and for sure not enough time to take it all in, arrived here in Halifax today. Take a day or so to get the jist of things and go from there. A long drive but well worth it..

Jason when I get back will for sure get in touch with you. I definitely am interested in knowing more about what we have or don't have and if possible some detailed pictures from yours if that is ok.We are supposed to be in Radium BC for their show on the 25th of Sept,but looks like it may not...

Well I think I will close this thread and thank you all once again for your help. Tonight I put on a new chain drive and also fabricated a missing oil drip tang and still looks to me like I am at the point of where I was a week or so back. Going to button things up tomorrow and hopefully get it...

skykeith, thanks for this info I will look into this also.

Wife and I are on our way to Halifax for some family business (her side).We are leaving on July 20th.This will be my 1st time to the east coast. One thing I would like to bring back to Alberta on our return is 1 -2 lobster traps (1/2 rounds?) for our house. We are bringing our truck which is a...

Thanks Bill for the additional timing info.Think I will run into the city tomorrow and have a chat with the speed shop boys and see what we can come up with. Sure like to get it running before we go away. I do have the oil slinger for it and also I looked for the oiling hole and it looks like...

Going to put it all back together today and see where it goes. Just have today and tomorrow to play with it then it will have to wait until I get back from the east coast.

Thanks guys for your help and suggestions. Got the boy to do the back and fourth on the crank while I watched the rotor.I think the root of the problem is the chain as the rotor did not move until he actually moved the piston downward. It also looked at about 10° after is when the rotor actually...

Thanks 67 for your help on this. Unfortunately something has come up and I have to put this issue on the back burner for a few weeks. When I return home will get back into things. Greatly appreciate all the help trying to solve this issue,thanks to all. Jeff

Not to sure if these pictures are any better a bit of a difficult shot to make for sure. It is hard to see but there is a dot in the crank sprocket that appears to line up with the cams dot.

This is the best I'm afraid I could get. You have to look close to see the cam dot at 12 o'clock. I had an extra set of hands for a few minutes and re measured the chain slop and got 5/16". On the 2nd pic if I rotate the crank to be more closely pointing to #1, I believe I was 10° after or...

I will try and have a picture or 2 for tomorrow. Thank you Jeff

Crank sprocket has 2 key slots cam is single key. I was wrong previously on the cam position dot. When the crank is at tdc then the cam dot is at the 6 o'clock there is roughly 4 teeth difference to the crank which appears to be at 1 o"clock. I 'll see if I can put a picture up to show much...

Well today after a consultation or 2 , I decided to pull the front of my engine apart. Before I did all this I set the #1 piston to tdc,checked and double checked it's position,felt all good. I was expecting some shreds or gear damage when that chain cover popped open and was pleasantly...

For sure on the light and pretty much need to get caught up with tools in general. I walked away from the hobby almost 25yrs ago and in the last year or so have more time to get back in but man I surely see how much I have forgotten. I really appreciate all the members input and after reading...

Thanks 67 for this info I will give things a good look tomorrow. Not sure about the cam sprocket as the history on this car is zero . This is one of those cars you likely were told to run from and fast...haha.This engine has been apart and back together.Thought about a chain slip but when I got...

Ok guys I am a little uneasy with the way this distributor is sitting and I played a little more to see how the engine would respond. As i brought forward above in this post I had to advance the distributor more than it was prior to my issue. I had advanced things to where the vacuum advance was...

Went for a 2 km run and it seems to be fine,throttle response seems a little weak as it does seem a tad on the sluggish side and no ping. Heck I can live with this for a day or so. I had had it booked into the shop to rebuild the front end last week so if all goes good will have that rebuilt by...

Got the car fired up this morning. I had to advance the distributor a fair ways to get it to fire.My vacuum advance seems to be in a different position than my original mark and my visual recollection. It was lining up with the #8 cylinder visually now to get it to run it is between #6 - #8...

Well the I kicked the cat here. Pulled the valve covers and had the wife turn it over and all seems to be working so I don't think we have a valve issue. Well it still won't start (run on it's own) but we appear to have spark with smooth turn over as it did want to fire and carried on for a few...

I have heard of the atf down the carb but never tried it. If I get things up and running I may just give it a shot. I got a inline spark tester today, thanks Bill for that tip,so I may go back out and kick the cat again here. Thanks Jeff

Thank you all for your input.Definitely need to learn more on the electrical. Since I posted a few days ago I was able to spend more time looking at things and decided that new wires were needed and got a set of msd 8.5 mm wires. Also I have been able to determine I think why # 5 was not firing...

Hey guys need a little input here as to my issue on our 70 340. First of all I am not well versed in electrical issues (I believe the term is electrically challenged,snicker) nor do I have the proper tools to deal with these issues so trial by error and of course a few dollars to try and get...
